Assignment
Write a Job Application Letter for a real job advertisement.
- Base the letter on your own real background (don’t make anything up)
- You can write a letter to apply for
- an entry level job (the type of job you might apply for when you graduate from IUP)
- a Graduate Assistantship or Teaching Assistantship position (the type of job you might apply for in graduate school)
- an internship or co-operative experience
- a campus job
- a summer job
- any other type of real job to which you might want to apply
- do not select a job for which you are not qualified (in other words, don’t try to apply for a Vice President job which requires 10 years of work experience; go after a job you would have a chance of getting once you graduate)
- Make a copy of the Job Advertisement
- Make 3 copies of your job application letter to bring to class for peer review
